The imperial concubine favors the crown of the harem

Chapter 155
After hearing this, Lin Wanyi didn't know what to do.

Originally a good mood, but because of this, it became cloudy.

The sky outside became brighter and brighter inch by inch, until the sun filled the entire Huifang Yayuan.

Lin Wanyi was still sitting on the porch, leaning against the red-painted pillar, motionless.

If it was at this time as usual, she would have already started watering the flowers and plants again.

How can it be the same as today, with a feeling of discomfort all over his body.

I have to say that what Dong Yuzhong said to her before he left was very touching.

In her mind, she never expected that the emperor would treat her like this.

Among the people she came into contact with when she was young, except for her parents and grandfather's family.

But there has never been such a relationship between husband and wife.

Husband and wife friendship?

It's a joke to say, what qualifications does she have to talk about the so-called husband and wife relationship with the current emperor?
If it is true, everyone in the whole palace is now his concubine.

The only person who can truly be called a husband and wife with him is the deceased Queen Xu.

But since entering the palace, the emperor has talked to her many times.

Once, knowing that her younger brother had been beaten, Concubine Lin Gui came to comfort her after cleaning up.

Once, Yuexia talked with her and told her about the past.

Once again, it is today.

He told her about the hardships in the harem, but he didn't want to let go of his hand.

This time, every time the emperor took a step closer, but she was always lingering, refusing to move forward.

Either unable to respond, or have scruples.

The more I think about it, the more uncomfortable it becomes, and the knot in my heart becomes more inextricable.

There was a sigh from the left and a sigh from the right, which almost made Xia An, who was waiting behind her, very worried.

And this is what Madam Du saw.

Seen from the side and rear, what is the difference between Lin Changzai now and the Concubine Xian in those days?
Could it be that there is really no room for love in this palace?

Will a woman with a little bit of friendship eventually be trapped by love, and thus disappear?

Thoughts were interrupted by many memories of the past, after a while.

After thinking about it, he walked up with firm eyes, saluted Lin Wanyi and said.

"The servant has seen the young master."

"Why is Madam Du here?"

Lin Wanyi was relieved from her melancholy by her interruption.

"The second prince probably got up early, and now he fell asleep again from sleepiness. There is something in the servant's hand. After much deliberation, I'd better plan to show it to Lin Xiaozhu."

thing?

Lin Wanyi was very curious.

It can be seen that she didn't move for a long time, so she got up and said to Xia An.

"Stay outside the yard, Madam Du will come in and talk with me."

"Yes."

After the two entered the inner room, Xia An covered the door.

Then I retreated to the corridor consciously, so that I couldn't hear what was said inside.

Lin Wanyi sat on the round stool and looked at Madam Du quietly.

Then, as if she had decided on something, Madam Du took out a piece of silk from her bosom.

This silk handkerchief is larger than ordinary handkerchiefs, and the material looks like a high-quality floating brocade.

Lin Wanyi picked it up and took a look, only to realize that it was a landscape painting embroidered on it.

And that painting seems to be slightly similar to the one the emperor drew for her at that time.

It's just that one is more resolute and magnificent, and the other is more graceful and graceful.

Lin Wanyi's heart skipped a beat.

This can't be Queen Xu's old thing, can it?
Did Madam Du give her this thing to remind her that she was just a substitute?

All of a sudden, I became flustered.

I don't know how to deal with myself.

But before Lin Wanyi could figure it out, Mother Du had already spoken.

"The servant girl used to be the nurse who served the concubine Xian. Since the emperor was born, she has been sent by the concubine Xian to take care of the emperor who was still the first prince at that time. It has been more than 20 years."

Lin Wanyi knew about this earlier.

The emperor had spoken to her intermittently.

But what does these old events have to do with this veil?

Lin Wanyi was puzzled.

But she still patiently listened to Madam Du's continuation.

"This piece of silk is an old item of Concubine Xian. If it hadn't been embroidered, it would have been buried in the imperial tomb along with Concubine Xian's death."

As soon as she finished speaking, Lin Wanyi picked up the veil and looked at it carefully.

Sure enough, in terms of the location and color matching of some landscapes, it can be seen that they are not yet completed.

So he asked.

"So Xianfei is also good at embroidery?"

"Well, it's not just embroidery."

Speaking of Concubine Xian, Madam Du's usual serious expression suddenly softened.

He began to speak along the memory.

"Concubine Xian, once was the best woman in the world. She has a beautiful heart and a beautiful heart. She has both talent and appearance. She is proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy, painting, singing, dancing and embroidery. When the master and wife were still alive, they trained her very well. The servant girl thought that the virtuous concubine would find an ordinary family among the people, choose a noble husband, and live a smooth life, but she never thought that the former emperor's east tour would become the biggest accident in her life."

"Concubine Xian was immediately spotted by the first emperor, and was immediately selected to enter the palace. Since then, in only three years, she has grown from a young concubine to the concubine Xian who is the only favorite. There is no one in the harem who is not jealous. , but there is nothing they can do to be jealous, because the first emperor was only affectionate and righteous to his empress."

"In the beginning, life was comfortable. Although bumps and bumps were unavoidable, the former emperor always protected the concubine Xian. Until the emperor was born, everything changed."

As Madam Du said, her eyes changed from soft to sharp.

"Your Majesty, he is the eldest son of the first emperor. The Empress Dowager (now the Empress Dowager) has been in the palace for many years, and there were only two princesses. Now she has finally hoped for a prince. Naturally, she wants to accept her as a son-in-law under her knees. Poor Concubine Xian The empress has been in poor health since the birth of the child. Coupled with the constant remonstrance from the empress empress's mother's family and the courtiers all over the world, the emperor was sent to her palace to be raised in the end."

"This kind of raising is many years."

"The virtuous concubine has no reputation and the favor of the former emperor, and she didn't have the blessing to stay with her forever, so she passed away when the emperor was five years old. Before she died, she took the hand of the servant and maidservant to explain everything. Tell me, I want my servants to take good care of the emperor."

"Slaves...Slaves naturally want to swear to protect the emperor."

These old things came out of Madam Du's mouth in one go.

Already feel distant, but at the same time full of regret.

It turned out that this scene of leaving the mother and leaving the child did not only happen to her.

Even if she was favored like a concubine, she still experienced this.

No wonder, since the emperor entered the palace, he always treated her differently.

Probably, he saw in himself the helplessness and struggle of Concubine Xian.

Hey……
